Kid Writing - Eileen Feldgus and Isabell Cardonick - Each day the students draw a picture in his or her journal. An adult sits with each child and helps him or her write a story about their illustration. The students write all of the sounds they hear in a word (called Kid Writing). When the student is finished writing the adult will show the student the correct "adult" spelling. This allows for individual mini-lessons based on the needs to the student.

Whole Group Math Lesson - During whole group instruction new concepts are introduced and practiced. This is a time when I can make anecdotal records and assess a child's understand of a concept. This allows me to plan for both small and whole group lessons.

Rest Time - This is a quiet time for the students to relax their bodies and minds and prepare for the remainder of the day!

Shared Reading - This is a time for the students to practice concepts of print and beginning reading skills. During this time basic phonics skills are also taught. The students love to "butter up" the "popcorn" or high frequency words.
